Love your brick quilt. Sometimes it's best just to let the fabric doing all the talking!

See? I told you that splint on your poking finger would work! ;)

You're really plowing through the fabric and getting it busted! Cheerleading you on here! Good going!

I love your brick quilt with the light neutrals! I think that working with these colors can be kind of tricky. I've seen it done badly and beautifully. You have done it beautifully!

Good job picking up a WIP from last year! It looks great.

I stayed in the positive this week . . . only a pitiful yard and a half out, but zero in! However, I have lots of work to do making up for all the yardage in over the past few weeks . . . Verna and Plume and Make Life, oh my!

It was so much fun! That quilt came together fast- its looking great and that soft backing fabric will make it a great snuggly quilt.

You're making great progress on your stash! :) Christine

Yummy, made my daughter and sil a quilt using many of those fabrics last year and in just such a simple pattern. As for me I added 8yds for summer clothes for my youngest granddaughter and some pillowcase borders for the challenge. Out...2.5yds, pillowcases for 2 granddaughters! Leaves me in the red (again) I'm afraid.

Wow!!! That was a great week.

I love the colors in that quilt. I can't wait to see the back.

I love that quilt you are making! It's so calm. I only had fabric in this week. That's not true. I did make a couple small things. Maybe I should get to work right now!

Man is that simple brick quilt gorgeous! So soothing with the tan/taupe/golds on white.

Glad you rescued it from the UFO pile.
